They both pointed at each other. I had hoped Jason wouldn't turn out to be just like his father and, well, he didn't. At least not completely, but he had his moments.

"Okay who really broke the china? Tell me the truth and you'll get more ice-cream. Jason remained pointing at his father, while his father slowly raised his hand.

"Alright let's clean this up," I said, and they both scurried away to get the cleaning supplies.

It wasn't being a mom to two men, but I enjoyed it. After they were done cleaning, I helped Jason with his homework, only he didn't need my help since everything was correct.

"Is there something your mother ate that caused all her descendants to become intelligent or something?" I couldn't help asking as Jason ate his fruit.

"It's because I study," Jason said softly.

Unlike his father and me, the boy rarely talked, but he was social at the same time and loved by his cousins and friends. We weren't really bothered about him getting bullied.

"There you have it, he studies," Ethan said as he read through the medical notes he had borrowed from Ben.

I touched my stomach; we were expecting another child, and I wondered if he or she would be as smart as their cousins. It would suck if they ended up being compared to their cousins.

"I don't know if it's just studying," I said.

"Babe you don't have to worry about that," Ethan assured me. "You did a good job with Jason, and you'll do a good job with his little sister."

"Brother, girls are scary," Jason said.

"Looks like trauma from the wine incident got passed down," Ethan muttered while chuckling to himself.

"Oh hush." I threw a stuffed toy at him, then turned to Jason. "Girls aren't so bad. Look at your cousins. None of them play dolls, they play sports and are full of…oh, he's scared of his cousins."

"Who wouldn't? Where do they even get that insane amount of energy from?" Ethan asked as he flipped through the pages.

Another thing to be worried about. Ethan let out a sigh and walked over to me. He hugged me from behind and kissed my cheek.

"Don't think too much about it," he said to me.

"I mean, I can't even help Jason with his homework, and I don't know if the next boy…"

"Girl…" Ethan corrected.

"Boy…" Jason joined in.

"Or girl," I continued. "Will turn out like her cousins. What if I'm out of the Sullivan juice?"

"There's no such thing as a Sullivan juice. And both our kids will turn out fine," he affirmed.

"Thank you…how do you know how to calm me down?" I asked.

"You aren't actually worried. Your pregnancy delusions are at it again," he reminded me and kissed my lips.

"Oh, right," I said and let out a sigh of relief.

Pregnancy delusions or not, I was still worried about my parenting skills. But like Ethan had shown me, I wasn't alone in this. I had him by my side and Jason, too. We were going to be the best family, clumsy or not.

Mother's Day was one of my favorite days of the year. I was already twelve, and my school was organizing a bake off in honor of our mothers. I had spent weeks perfecting my recipe, with Mother. Well, it took a lot longer to perfect because her luck always seemed to kick in at the oddest time. But I loved it.

She brought a new kind of excitement every day to our lives.
